Anurag Thakur asks Cong to clarify stand on its alliance with Communists in West Bengal

While addressing a function of the Panchayati Raj functionaries of the party hailing from Bhoranj block of the district at Dhamrol village, he said that it was not understood on one hand it was sharing seats in West Bengal with the left parties and on other hand it was opposing them in Kerala.

"This characteristic of the Congress party was not understood but proved that it was only after the power and had no love and faith for the masses," he said.

He expressed optimism that despite let loose operations of the Mamta Banerjee and Congress party, the BJP would win more than 200 seats in West Bengal and form its government there.

Thakur exhorted the party workers to be vigilant of the nefarious designs of the Congress party and its leaders stating that they had no character.

“Their main aim is to win the elections by hook and crook but this will not materialize this time,” the BJP leader added.

He said that the Panchayati raj institutions were an important part of the democratic set up in India and that was why separate funds had been given at their disposal for performing developmental works in their respective areas.

He assured them that adequate funds would be made available to them for developmental activities as there was no shortage of funds with the central government.

He congratulated them for winning the elections and defeating their Congress party rivals adding that they had to perform their duties as per the wishes of the people who had elected them to the seat of power.
